First, Murphy stopped by the set of CBS News to talk about how people can get the most out of their holiday travel. With money-saving advice about hotel deals in the Dominican Republic, Disney, Universal and Las Vegas, Murphy outlined ways to making visiting relatives less of a burden.

When asked about the best time to fly during the holiday season, Murphy said, “You have to look at strategic days. Are you OK flying Christmas Day? That’s cheap. Don’t come back on New Year’s Eve. You have to stay away from those days. The trick with travel when trying to find a great deal is flexibility.”
